People urged to enrol to vote before deadline

The state's electoral commissioner is urging people to enrol to vote before tomorrow's deadline.

About 200,000 West Australians who are eligible to vote are yet to enrol.

Warwick Gately says that number is far too high.

"In the last month, we've probably added about 15,000 new electors to the roll," he said.

"Importantly we've also updated the details of about 26,000 so that's good of itself but I still remain concerned that there are a large number of eligible electors in the state that aren't on the roll."

Mr Gately says it is vital those who are eligible, enrol.

"You can't vote unless you are enrolled," he said.

"That's a precondition so if you want to exercise your right and privilege to vote on the 9th of March you do need to be on the electoral roll so the last opportunity will be before 6pm on Thursday, the 14th."
